Canada Freight & Logistics Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Canada Freight & Logistics Market according to our research experts:
Wholesale and Retail Trade is the largest End User
- In 2021, the end user segments of the Canadian freight and logistics market experienced a recovery after a decline in 2020, as the Canadian and global economies rebounded from the first wave of COVID-19. This growth momentum continued in 2022. The wholesale and retail trade end user segment held the largest share of 29.23% in 2022, followed by the manufacturing end user segment at 27.88%. Between 2017 and 2021, the oil and gas, quarrying, and mining end-user segment had the highest value growth, recording a CAGR of 3.95%, followed by the other end-user segment with a CAGR of 3.26%.
- To ensure the timely delivery of these end-user products, the length of roads in Canada has been increasing over the years, facilitating faster lead times for delivery. As many products are perishable in nature, the increased focus on infrastructure and construction also benefits the operational costs of the manufacturing and trucking industries. The length of roads in Canada increased from 841.55 thousand kilometers in 2016 to 1,066.70 thousand kilometers in 2021, with a CAGR of 4.86%.
- During the forecast period, the freight and logistics end user segment is expected to record a CAGR of 4.79%. The oil and gas, quarrying, and mining end user segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 7.12%, followed by the wholesale and retail trade end user segment with a CAGR of 5.21%. The oil and gas, mining, and quarrying segment is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period as Canada is expected to have a robust oil and gas industry over the coming years. Canada's total oil production is expected to increase to six million barrels per day by 2028, up from 4.90 million barrels per day in 2019.
